I had sixty seconds to get to the car, according to my mom, and then she was leaving for church without me. As I ran past my dad, my shirt still undone, he mumbled, “No respect for church...” and went back to his crossword puzzle. I buttoned the last of my buttons, leapt into my shoes and out the door just as she started backing up. “Now we're late,” she said, gesturing to the clock on the dashboard as I got in the car. “You gave me sixty seconds though,” I replied, “And sixty seconds ago it would have been 10:18 so you STILL would have been late for the 10:15 mass.” If memory serves, she changed the subject at this point. After mass, she tried out a new griddle my aunt and uncle gave her yesterday, and pancakes were had by all. I don't like getting up early, and having a larger crowd in church, preferring to go on Saturday afternoons whenever possible. But every now and then, pancakes make it all worth it. Flash forward eleven hours or so, and it's time once again for this week's PHANTASMIC LINKS:

MCF is a mild-mannered
artist from the suburbs.
His knowledge of obscure
comic book characters
is more powerful than Gladiator
of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard on
an ego-trip. Able to leap topics
in a single sentence faster than
a speeder-bike on the moon of
Endor, MCF has never written
about himself in the third person
and now dreads the day he
utters aloud the fateful phrase,
"MCF is gettin' upset!"

Hmmm, a rather interesting read. I would have expected more of a Doogie Howser one-liner format.
$25,000 for a twenty dollar bill.
I could certainly use a few of those!
Big Trouble in Little South Park - I will definitely have to check out! Loved BTiLC!
